Chapter 11: Welcome To My World II
Yami walked down to the last step, and looked over to where he saw Rya last. Right there, he dropped the entire plate of food he brought for her. "Rya?" he gasped.
Rya stood there, outside of the tank, with two legs in place of a dark blue fin. "Are you all right Yami?"
"I-I-I-you're-you're fin is-" Yami stuttered in disbelief.
"Gone?" Rya smiled.
"Yes! It's just-gone! Rya what happened?" Yami asked as he walked up to her.
"Well, while you were gone, I thought about what you said. That if I was able to walk around with you, you'd show me your world. So then I realized that maybe my pendant could help, and I wished real hard. Then before I knew it, it had legs," Rya laughed.
"I...see," Yami stated. "So, you're human now?"
"Pretty much. I still have to get used to these le-legs!" Rya cried out as she started to fall over.
"Rya!" Yami ran up to her and pulled her to his chest before she could fall backwards into the tank. "Are you all right?" he asked worriedly.
Rya looked up into his amethyst eyes and nodded. "Yes I'm fine. Sorry about that, having two legs is harder than I thought it would be," she chuckled.
"Don't worry I'll help you." Yami stood back so that they were arms length apart. "Now just put one foot in front of the other," he instructed and gently pulled her towards him. Rya nodded and slowly began to take baby steps up to him. They practiced for about forty-five minutes before Rya could actually walk by herself. She still occasionally fell, only to have Yami catch her each time. Without Yami knowing, Rya would actually fall on purpose just to have him catch her. "Good, you've really got the hang of it!" Yami laughed.
"Does this mean you'll show me around now?" Rya begged.
"Well-" Yami thought.
"Please? I honestly don't know how long I'll stay like this," Rya told him.
"Well, how long did you wish to be human for?" Yami asked a little worried.
"Only until I-" Rya was cut off by Yami's cell phone ringing yet again. He rolled his eyes and answered it again. Rya stood there quietly waiting for Yami to finish, still trying to understand the concept of 'cell phones'.
"Well, that was Yugi. He and the others were going to go to the mall today. I told him that you wanted to walk around, so he'll pick us up here. So you and I will be able to-" Yami was cut off by Rya launching herself onto him to give him a hug.
"Oh Yami! That sounds wonderful! I can't wait!" Rya cheered. Yami simply smiled and hugged her back. He helped her walk up the stairs to the front door to wait for the others. Yami couldn't help but take secret glances of Rya as she stood behind him waiting in excitement for her journey awaiting her. Since she became human, she was now wearing a black tank top, a dark blue skirt, and boots that almost reached her knees. "Are you all right Yami? You keep staring," Rya asked.
"Oh sorry. I didn't mean to," Yami replied, blushing as he turned away. They heard some horns honking and noticed the cars pulling up to the front gate. "Well, here we go. Come on, Rya. There's a whole new world for you to see," Yami stated as he took her by the hand and ran them both to Mai's car.
"Rya? Is that you?" both Joey and Mai gasped. Yami and her explained what had happened. "Wow, awesome! Well, you turned into a human on a good day, Rya. Da mall is da best place to be. So let's go!" Joey cheered.
"You got it. Hang on!" Mai revved up the engine and sped off. As soon as they had started moving, Rya grabbed onto Yami, thinking she would fall out of the car or something. So Yami explained the concept of seatbelts to her, but never let her go.
Rya gazed out all of the windows to see things she never dreamed of seeing. Whenever she pointed out to something, Yami did his best to explain it. Only to be cut off by her pointing to something else, wanting to know what it is. When they finally reached the mall, Rya looked at the biggest thing she had ever seen. She followed the others into the large building, and started getting nervous. Yami could feel her shaking, and noticed that she had stopped. "Rya?" he called out. Rya just kept shaking and looking nervously at the building in front of her. She snapped out of it when she felt Yami take her hand. "Don't worry, I won't let anything happen to you." he smiled gently, and started to lead her inside.
A/N: As most of you guessed, Rya sprouted legs! AAAH! What fun or trouble will our friends get into? I'd like to personally thank actress19 for giving me an idea about how long Rya will be human for. I just might use it, so thank you so much! I'm glad you all are liking the story so far. I hope my story isn't being to predictable or anything. But trust me, next chapter won't be anything close to predictable. But if any of who have suggestions for what Rya should do, lemme know! Thank you:)
